The iodine-125 (125I) seeds interstitial implantation has the advantages of minimal invasiveness, high local control rate, and few complications; it has attracted worldwide attention. With the application of 3D printing technology in medicine, individualized 3D templates are gradually applied to clinical practice. Individualized 3D templates combining with CT-guided 125I seeds implantation are easy to operate and can not only effectively ensure the consistency and accuracy of preoperative and postoperative dose, but also minimize complications to achieve optimal efficacy. This paper reviews the application of CT-guided implantation of 125I seeds for malignant tumors assisted by individualized 3D template, and further demonstrates the safety and effectiveness of clinical application in 125I seeds implantation to provide a reliable basis for the standardization of 125I seeds implantation.
